The Heart and Cardiovascular System in
the Quran and Hadeeth: How Islamists Want to Fool the World!

International Journal of
Cardiology, a reputable medical science journal published by
Elsevier publishing group, a leading name in scientific publication,
is publishing a paper entitled, "The heart and cardiovascular system
in the Qur'an and Hadeeth". One is left to wonder where this world
is heading to...

To readers:

Recently, the reputable
International Journal of Cardiology accepted for publication the
following essay penned by a group of four Islamists. I may assume
them to be of Cardiology Professionals albeit of Islamic mind.

The heart and cardiovascular system
in the Qur'an and Hadeeth written by Marios Loukas, Yousuf Saad, R.
Shane Tubbs and Mohamadali M. Shojawhich.

It is not that amazing that the
Islamists will beat their drum of Islamic Science and Islamic
Medicine or Islamic Heart Surgery. We have read many such claims in
various Islamic web sites. Most Medical professional bodies will
simply trash these Islamic mumbo-jumbos. Unfortunately, it was a
complete shock to me when I found that an internationally reputable
journal such as named above will accept this kind of Islamic trash
to enlighten the readers about the virtues of Islamic Heart Science
as provided in the Qur’an and ahadith.

I decided to protest in the face
such blatant Islamic lies and trickery. Here is my protest note. I
shall urge the readers to bombard the editor for surrendering to
Islamic game tactics. We must let the Islamists know that the
civilised world will accept such Islamic deception lying flat.

Fillup the first name, last name,
email address, and subject. In the subject box, you may copy paste:
The heart and cardiovascular system in the Qur'an and Hadeeth. Then
paste your message to the editor and submit.

I am appalled that the so-called
Islamic Science and Medicine, as noted in the religious texts, have
found a place in your reputable journal, which is dedicated to the
dissemination of knowledge and information on modern medical
science.

Your decision to publish such a
“voodoo Science” is bound to affect your reputation. My conjecture
is very soon, the Christians, the Jews, the Hindus and the Voodoo
practitioners in Africa and the charm and amulet dealers in all
parts of the world may submit their claims of modern medical science
in their trades.

The author of the above essay has
cited a few verses from the Qur’an and ahadith to demonstrate
scientific materials related to human heart in those verses. I will
say this simply is not true. Anyone who reads these verses will have
no doubt that the verses almost invariably refer to the stubbornness
of the infidels who do not to open their hearts to Islam or to
demonstrate the peace and tranquillity that descends when a person
embraces Islam. I urge you to read the referred verses to judge for
yourself the veracity of my statement.

Now, here are a few examples from
the Qur’an:

Allah sealed
the hearts of the non-believers, and put veils on their eyes; there
is a great penalty for the non-believers. (Qur'an 2:7).

One of the most eminent scholars of
the Qur'an, ibn Kathir writes that the seal is placed on the heart
and the hearing; Allah has sealed their hearts because of their
unbelief. Another eminent scholar of the Qur'an, ibn Abbas says:
This refers in particular to the Jews Ka'b Ibn al-Ashraf, Huyayy Ibn
Akhtab and Judayy Ibn Akhtab.

The hypocrites have disease in
their hearts, Allah has increased the disease, and there is a
grievous punishment for them. (Qur'an 2:10). Ibn Kathir writes
disease means doubt. Ibn Abbas says: the reference is to the
hypocrites: Abdullah ibn Ubayy, Jadd Ibn Qays and Mu'attib Ibn
Qushay.

The Muslims should muster all their
power and might, including steeds of war (tanks, planes,
missiles…etc.) to strike terror in the hearts of the unbelievers
(Qur'an 8:6). Ibn Abbas says this means killing them.

Where is the modern medical
condition of the heart in these verses? Mind you, I just cited only
three verses from the Qur’an to demonstrate the utter untruthfulness
of the author of the essay. The Qur'an is littered with hundreds of
such hateful verses. How can we relate these hateful verses to
modern medical science?

Many such similar passages are
found in the Ahadith as well. For example, in a hadith we note that
Muhammad had used “camel’s urine” as a medicine. Do you think we
should now resort to drinking camels’ urine just because Islamic
texts recommend it? Will you allow an essay extolling the virtues of
drinking camels’ urine in your journal?

Your decision to publish such a
misleading and completely unscientific essay is utterly imprudent
and highly regrettable. It will simply embolden religious bigotry
and encourage the Islamist terrorists.
